description: >-
  Twelve OAuth scopes advertised anonymously by the CAIS MCP server's RFC 9728
  protected-resource metadata and repeated verbatim in its RFC 8414 authorization-server
  metadata. CAIS publishes no scopes reference page, so descriptions below are read
  directly from the scope strings' own domain:resource:action grammar and are marked
  as such — nothing has been invented beyond what the scope name states.

summary:
  total: 12
  read_scopes: 9
  write_scopes: 2
  identity_scopes: 1
  note: >-
    The scope surface is read-dominant. Only funds:orders:create and ips:contacts:write
    mutate state, which is a meaningful agent-safety property: an agent granted the
    default read set cannot place an order.
